Oregon Native American tribes

Oregon Native American tribes are Indigenous peoples with rich cultures, histories, and territories in the state. They include tribes like the Klamath, Coos, Umpqua, and Multnomah, each with unique languages, traditions, and social structures. Many tribes traditionally relied on fishing, hunting, and agriculture, especially valued for salmon and acorns. Today, tribes work to preserve their heritage, sovereignty, and rights, often managing reservations and cultural centers. They play a vital role in Oregon’s history and continue to contribute to the state's diverse cultural landscape.
